Roof Inspections in Duluth

A useful inspection answers three questions. What is in good condition? What is aging and should be monitored? And what requires attention now? With those answers, you can budget sensibly, whether that means a small repair this year or a replacement planned for later. Our inspection is careful and consistent. From the ground, we observe the roof lines for any sag and the gutters for granule accumulation, an early indicator of aging. On the roof, each face is examined for hail impacts, cracking, curling, lifted tabs, exposed fasteners and debris holding moisture. Flashing at walls, valleys and penetrations receives close attention, since that is where many leaks originate. Pipe boots are checked for cracking, and vents for condition and whether incoming air matches outgoing. If the attic can be reached, we look for staining, damp insulation, visible daylight and softened plywood. Each observation is photographed and labeled by location. The written summary that follows groups findings by priority and, where relevant, notes which roofing materials would suit the house if replacement is on the horizon. Duluth homeowners request inspections before buying or selling, after storms and as part of long-range budgeting.
